#1 The NAVY always were tight-assed pricks, no humor seen or present in their Officer ranks.

#2 Which NAVY are you talking about, Redneck? The nukes, the airdales, the SeaBees, the SEALS, the boomers, the bubble-heads, the FMF, or the skimmers?

Humor? The Thresher was a real knee-slapper, eh? And the Forrestal, the Thach and the Belknap all had great punchlines. I bet a nuke-accident would certainly cause great amusement. I bet it's especially funny when a cat-launch goes wrong, a marine falls overboard, or an AB gets hit by a rotor. I found it especially amusing when I got wounded during an operation because somebody fucked up. The two-year hospital stay and rehab was real Comedy-Central material.

Yeah, we officers should stand back and laugh our fucking fool heads off.

If and when you pull your head out of your ass, do some research on the number of Navy nuke accidents.

#5 Pappy's got a point.

Here in Computer Land, when things go tits-up, we just reboot the server. Maybe some lost business and whiney customers. In the military, when it all goes wrong you end up with twisted, smoking wreckage and dead comrades. It's like running with scissors - explosive, fragmentation scissors. They can't afford mistakes. Sometimes being a 'tight-assed prick' can have survival value.

#7 Thanks Pappy for proving my point. We're talking about a sailor dancing wearing rad equipment, not opening the seals to look at the pretty blue glow.
